Mast Stepping AlternativeBy Karl ZarinsI know that this might sound crazy, but the easiest way to step a mast on the beach is to tip the boat on its side, (use some flotsam to steady it) and move the mast into position. Once the mast is in position, tip it back upright. The advantage is that you're not holding anything up while you position the shrouds, etc. Karl Zarins |
